Find out at this website:

I was surprised to see that only 45 people in the U.S. have the same first and last name as me.
 
Interesting information. According to my results, only 4 people in the US have my name. Hard to believe that one of them is located here in KC where I live.
 
The Jim Smith Society.

Shux, so many guys are named Jim Smith that they've established their own organization.

This site is wrong. It said there was nobody with my last name in the USA! When I checked 'whitepaper' it said there were 184 people with my last name.
 
I don't exist :hysterical: ! There are 34,906 people with my first name & 577 with my last name but NONE with both names!

0 with my maiden name, but my married name is way more common.

I'm so lucky to have a deadbeat in my city with the same name. I get her collection calls frequently. Also got a wedding invitation that had to be hers as it was not to Mr and Mrs and I had never heard of the bride, groom or either sets of parents.
 
Neither do my brothers exist! I checked on my maiden name which so unusual that we are the only family in the US with that name! There are only 4 of DH...I know about him and his dad, but not the other 2!

Ingrid
 
It says there are 29 of me....

And there's only one of my wife.....but I already knew that :)
 
I Did this befor and there was none of me , this time it shows one person,
I think the site used your info you type in and if you do not exist, check back a month later and you will fine you do exist:rofl:
 
There are 2,833 with my same name: Nancy
There are 7,228 with my husbands name: Richard

There are 846,861 people with the last name of White
 
DH thinks the site is using some type of statistical analysis rather than true data. There's no other way to explain that neither I nor my brothers exist!

I don't exsist, either. And it is interesting to note that it says that there is one Gerald Modena in the US. When we lived in Daly City, CA, many years ago, there was *another* Gerald Modena living there, too. He even banked at the same bank, if you want to talk about confusing. He was Gerald A., and my Jerry is Gerald S.

My sister's name is Irene Reynoso. She's not Hispanic. She lives in an area where many Hispanic people live. She's forever receiving political information in Spanish.

Fern
 
There are 52 of me in the US.

My sister in-law has the same name and live a few min. from me. We are 6 months and a day apart, go to the same bank,same insurance, video store and more, at one time we lived on the same street for a couple of years, and then we moved into there house when they moved out for 4 months while we remodeled our house.

Once we went to Mexico together and they checked us in for the same seat assignment, they were ahead of us and we were running late so we didn't notice untiil we were boarding the plane, the girl at the counter was really confused and told us to find any empty seat and take care of it in L.A.

We are going to Mexico again next week and we are one seat apart from each other, so this should be interesting.

Not Just Every Tom & Dick & Harry Is Named Alan.

TUG-BBS has at least 1 other person with (approximately) the same name as mine.

Who'd a-thunk ?

I'm becoming more popular! Claims there are now 18 of ME. (Of course, last time I checked four of them were ME!)
 
I have to be a bit skeptical about that site. It says nationwide there are 467 people with my same first and last names. I think that's inaccurate. When I lived in San Diego in the 80s, there were FOUR of me just in the San Diego phone book at that time. Nationally, that would indicate a lot more people with my same first and last names, and one of those is my own son.

Well, Fern, we all know you exist here and sure glad you do! :)

On the HowManyOfMe site, there are 1,118,524 'Brian' names in the USA and even that seems low.

Brian
 
3 of US

There are 3 people in the US with the same first and last name as me. I know one of the other people. Interestingly enough there is no one in the US with my maiden name. Bet my two cousins plus their sons feel strange that they don't exist.

Nancy with the unusual last name

Whitepages is wrong too. According to Whitepages, there are only 300 numbers in the US with my last name. According to HowManyOfMe, there are 91,061 people with my last name in the US. Unless the average household has 303 people living in it, somethings screwy here! :)

There are 6 of me!
 
I have a common name. Another person here in town with my same name is apparently a prostitute. I used to get her calls so had to unlist my phone number.

Some of those calls were very very interesting ... :ignore:

Sorry, but that's hilarious. I can just imagine the first time you got such a call... :eek:

I'm in process of changing jobs, and the new employer ran a required background check on me, as part of the hiring process. The HR manager called me and said, "Um, have you ever lived in Tacoma, Washington?" I said, "No, why do you ask?" Turns out there is someone there with my first and last names who has a criminal record a mile long, and who is wanted by the police at the moment on a felony warrant. Yikes! Luckily I was able to prove that wasn't me, and I'll be starting the new job in a few weeks. Whew! :)

Long ago I worked at a Motor Vehicle office. Back in those days you could do random searches on the drivers' license file. There were 13 people in California then with the same first middle and last names as me AND who were within 5 years of my birthday. Who knows how many there were total. So far we have not overlapped anywhere.

I did buy a timeshare once from a couple in the SF bay are. He wanted to send me some paperwork so he looked up my and my wife's names on the internet. He found a couple with the exact same first names (very odd as my wife has a unique spelling of her name) and our last name. (The fact that they lived in another part of the state slipped his mind!) This duplicate couple was relieved when I called. They were afraid they had become the owners of a dreaded timeshare. :D
